00:00 Joined by Mark Chamberlain following a devastating victory over Gavin Gwynne in rehab.
00:08 Mark, can you just sum up some of your thoughts and feelings after what was a really impressive victory?
00:14 Absolutely over the moon.
00:16 Coming out here, said I wanted to make a statement.
00:18 We delivered and I hope I've made everyone at home, friends, family, supporters, sponsors, everyone happy.
00:25 Makes all the hard work, time and money that everyone puts into me so I can do what I love.
00:33 Yeah, I hope I've made everyone happy.
00:36 I mean, you know, the biggest stage of your career by some distance considerably.
00:41 I know obviously you headlined your call, but you know, this is probably somewhat bigger.
00:46 And, you know, arguably the biggest opponent and biggest task of your career.
00:50 And to come for it like that, I mean, that was some effort.
00:53 You know what, coming out to them, fireworks, sparklers, honestly, it's something that you've just got to take in.
01:02 I was stood there thinking, wow, this is a big, big stage.
01:06 And I enjoyed every moment of it. So yeah, I'm forever grateful for it.
01:10 I've worked hard and I truly believe that I deserve to be here.
01:14 Yeah, I mean, how did you say so calm, so composed?
01:16 Like I say, it was a positive start, wasn't it? And you just continued from there.
01:20 Definitely. I just think it's in my head, right, it's another spark.
01:23 Forget the arena, forget everything else. It's just another boxing ring and another spark.
01:28 That's all the way I think of it. Once you get in the ring, bang, once the first bell goes, you don't hear nothing.
